ARIA

Summary

ARIA, an abbreviation standing for Advanced Robotics Intelligence Architecture, is a character introduced in Season 2 of Killer Instinct (2013). An artificial superintelligence created by Ultratech's founder, Ryat Adams, ARIA was designed to direct the evolution of humanity and ensure its long-term survival. The AI has since taken control of Ultratech, and mysteriously alternates between an antagonist to the human heroes and a foil to the demonic forces of Gargos. ARIA's body is supposed to represent a Valkyrie so that she would look like a savior and because humans are more comfortable with female robots.

Intelligence: Relatively High (Analyzed the actions and the behavior of the humans for years)

Weaknesses: ARIA's drones can be destroyed whether equipped or unequipped to her body. If she runs out of the three main drones (Booster, Bass, and Blade) then she can't fight for a while and is considered incapacitated.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

Upload: ARIA disappears into her current Drone and emerges from the next.

Drones: ARIA can switch between drones to alter her fighting style

Booster Drone: Grants her Flight

Blade Drone: Her right arm becomes a sword

Bass Drone: She can shoot plasma blasts from her chest

Fanfare Drone: Drones that appear after any of the main drones are destroyed. These drones only assist her by firing projectiles and can't be used to switch bodies.
